How to Change Netgear Network Name and Password

Changing Your Netgear Network Name and Password

If you're looking to enhance your home network security, changing your Netgear network name and password is a crucial step. Here's a simple guide to help you through the process:

1. Open a web browser and enter 'www.routerlogin.net' in the address bar. You will be prompted to enter your username and password. Use 'admin' as the username and 'password' as the password by default.
2. Once logged in, navigate to the 'Wireless Settings' or 'Wireless' section.
3. Locate the 'SSID' field. This is where you can change your network name (SSID) to something unique and identifiable to you.
4. Next, find the 'Password' or 'Security Key' field. Here, you can update your network password to a strong and secure one.
5. After making the desired changes, don't forget to save your settings before exiting.

By changing your Netgear network name and password regularly, you add an extra layer of protection against potential cyber threats. Make sure to keep your new credentials in a secure place.
